NY Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang says he will meet with doctor on Monday

William Perlman/The Star-LedgerYankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang finished his 2009 season with a 1-6 record and a 9.64 ERA.NEW YORK -- Injured Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang said he has an appointment with renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews on Monday to inspect his right shoulder.

He is scheduled to throw a rehabilitation game by April or May, he said inside the Yankee Stadium clubhouse on Friday following the team's World Series parade.

Wang underwent season-ending arthroscopic surgery in June. Before that, he was disastrous on the mound, going 1-6 with a 9.64 ERA. Injuries have dogged Wang for some time now. He spent a stint on the disabled list in May before heading back in July. A foot injury cut his 2008 season short.

Not being a part of the World Series victory made him “sad,” Wang said, but he hopes to return to the team next year. The Yankees have the option to tender him a contract or release him into free agency.
